Upon the further side, some way within the valley's arms high on a rocky seat upon the black knees of the Ephel Dúath, stood the walls and tower of Minas Morgul. All was dark about it, earth and sky, but it was lit with light. Not the imprisoned moonlight welling through the marble walls of Minas Ithil long ago, Tower of the Moon, fair and radiant in the hollow of the hills. Paler indeed than the moon ailing in some slow eclipse was the light of it now, wavering and blowing like a noisome exhalation of decay, a corpse-light, a light that illuminated nothing. In the walls and tower windows showed, like countless black holes looking inward into emptiness; but the topmost course of the tower revolved slowly, first one way and then another, a huge ghostly head leering into the night.
-TTT, Book IV, Ch 8 The Stairs of Cirith Ungol
The house of Isildur was built in Minas Ithil, and he originally planted the White Tree there. According to Peoples of Middle-earth, Sauron attacked and took Minas Ithil near the end of the Second Age, at which time he burned the White Tree; Isildur escaped down the Anduin and eventually joined his father in the Last Alliance.
Additionally, one of the palantírs was in Minas Ithil. There is no mention of its being taken in the first conquest of the city, but it is assumed to have been taken by Sauron when Minas Ithil fell to the Nazgûl.
